In mathematics, specifically geometry, an analytic variety is defined locally as the set of common solutions of several equations involving analytic functions. It is analogous to the included concept of complex algebraic variety, and any complex manifold is an analytic variety. Since algebraic varieties may have singular points, not all analytic varieties are complex manifolds. An Analytic variety is also called real or complex analytic set.
